What really gets me is that I really never considered him "black" in the first place. So why he went thru all that shit is beyond me. Dude has serious psychological problems. He desperately needs some help.

Michael Jackson used to be black?

[denimstar]

Oh I remember very well! He was very nice looking. If I came out of surgery looking like that I'd sue the ass off the surgeon.

[lankymidget]

He's a real mess now..

Physically.. Mentally.. Emotionally.. And phychologically.

But he seemed to know quite young that he'd have to take steps to hide from the fame and adulation..

Think he went about it all wrong though..

[denimstar]

It's kind of hard to blend into a crowd wearing a black surgical mask and a sequined glove. IMO he still wanted the attention.

[prismatism]

i love him. i think he's still cool...

neato little black kid = neato middle aged white dude.

[x_WaX_x]

sure was.

he isn't doing too well these days though eh?

oh well...ain't nobody can do the moonwalk like he can

i certainly remember the jackson five. there was also, i don't remember if it was the temptations or before the temptations, there was a BIG family group that what then became the jackson five were the five male members of, and all the girls bacame another equaly popular group.

the're names are the kind of trivia my mind 'deletes' to make room for other kinds of trivia that intrest me more. sory to say. but i do remember them in their own day. i was at least in high school at the time. or possibly beyond.

Thiller Night!

I think that the whole family's kinda messed up... there's quite a bit of disfunction going on there... and the dad always looks a little pissed off.

.../\...i think they are called De Barge or something like that. Janet used to date one of the boys. Again, it's a bit before my time, but I'll take a stab at it.

child stars these days...

[SpaceTrippin]

He's the Master Freak of all freaks.... he's probably curled up in a corner somewhere crying and wimpering, calling for his maid chimp, Bubbles

You're shitting me, right?

I'm pretty sure he beat all of their asses on a daily basis.

I remember watching the Jackson 5's cartoon as a kid :P

[Lemongait]

Haha!! Oh, I've had Billie Jean stuck in my head for a week. No one is as cool as Michael Jackson.

[SpaceTrippin]

he's a plastic wannabe white dude :confused:

[lucyinthesky]

when i was little michael jackson was the first guy to ever make my crotch tingle. i remember i not understanding it, but i was really attracted to him, and whenever i was with my older brothers and sisters and he'd come on tv and my crotch would want him, i would hide under the bar stools and blush like crazy.

[freakon]

haha, i was 11 when thriller, billie jean and all those other songs came out, man, it was like there was this amazing positive energies in the air, i'll never forget that time of my life! (i mean, now i never listen to him,-i prefer hippie and 70e rock- but those who experienced that vibe, ha! great)

[Inquiring-Mind]

I bet decades from now, people will be arguing if MK was white or black!

[Jim]

I was a Jacko fan back in the 80's... I try to forget what he is now... A good looking black guy to an ugly middle-aged white woman... Quite the transformation... Michelle.

[fountains of nay]

Jackson 5 mate! quality :)

[shaggie]

He wants his childhood back that he never had because of work, but he'll never get it.

I never understood the craze over his thriller album. It sounded just like Bee Gees disco music from about 8 years earlier, except they didn't call it disco.

The Jackson 5 cartoons were cute. They've since disappeared into the black hole.
